Dear All
I am very happy to be able to give you the news that last night the Oakham Town Council planning committee unanimously rejected the application for the development of land to the west of Uppingham Road.
The vote against the application was on the grounds that it is outside the Oakham boundary, in the open countryside, would spoil the key approach to important historic landscape, and is against the wishes of Oakham people. The access and egress of the site is a danger to local residents and the housing supply requirement does not justify building on a site which infringes on Rutland Water.
Keep watching the website for more news and keep up the pressure on your County Councillors to act on the Town Council recommendation.
Thank you all for your support and efforts on this - the first step along the road.
